Error while connected to server -- Received error n°5: Connection timed out

When I move from my home network to my university network (as is currently the case) I cannot connect to PO. The registry doesn't load, and I can't get onto a server using the normal advanced connections. I assume this issue is to do with the university firewall and not mine, since I have changed no settings since leaving home (yesterday, when I could connect fine). I can connect to the Beta server by changing the port number from 5080 to 8080. Is there any similar workaround that will work for the Smogon server? (the same change does not work).

If you see that screen, that just means you aren't actually connecting. If you were banned you would be immediately disconnected with a message saying so. Keep trying to reconnect because 9 out of 10 times, if you can connect you will do so almost immediately

It does this randomly sometimes, but it usually lets me connect after a few tries. But now the problem is persisting and I can't log in at all anymore. It makes no sense cause it would let me log in with the username, but then the next day it would tell me it's invalid when I'm using the exact same name.

Well I've had the problem with many alts, but the main one is 'Point of no return'

When I try to connect with that name I am prompted with a password and not disconnected; double check that you the name is "Point of no return" in the "Trainer Name" field when you're at the server list (registry).

SINGLE CLICK the Smogon server in the registry, then go down to the "Advanced Connection" area, delete the "5080" part, and replace it with "8080" (it should read: 173.233.95.2:8080). Then hit "Advanced Connect."

I have indeed. :c I searched the forums for a possible fix before I posted. I ended up getting a no7 connection error, I believe. I also changed it to :8080 to bypass port 5080 blocks, but to no avail.
